“…One of the latest Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations is "By 2020, substantially expand globally the number of scholarships available to developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States and African countries, for enrollment in higher education, including vocational training and information and communications technology, technical, engineering and scientific programmes". Several studies have confirmed the positive impact of scholarship policies on students' access to higher education and university enrollment (Cosentino et al, 2019), especially for students from disadvantaged backgrounds (Andrews et al, 2020;Firoozi, 2022;Laajaj et al, 2022).…”

Branding is a crucial strategy for universities to gain an advantage over their competitors in the face of increased competition in higher education, especially in admission activities. This study aimed to identify and prioritize the university brand components that influence the attraction of prospective students. In this study, the Delphi method is combined with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to identify eight factors, comprising 31 subfactors that constitute the university's brand. These factors and subfactors are then prioritized in attracting prospective students. The data were gathered through four rounds of interviews with experts who were leaders or individuals with extensive experience in communication or enrollment at member universities of Vietnam National University, Hanoi. The research findings indicate that the five factors considered to be the highest priority in attracting potential learners are the university's training program, reputation, human resources, financial policies, and communication activities. Additionally, this study presents the priority rankings of 31 subfactors.
